Bicycle Accident Case Value

Answer:

In every case in speaking with clients, they always ask the question, “How do you determine the value of my case for a bicycle accident in Orlando?” The answer is there are many factors that go into determining the value of the case. The extent of the injuries, obviously, is the most important— and not just the physical injuries, but the emotional, the mental injuries, the pain and suffering, and how long they last. If someone makes a quick recovery and has a minor injury, obviously the value is going to be lower. On the other hand, if someone has a permanent injury, something that’s going to be life-long, that they’re going to experience for the rest of their life, that obviously has significant value. All of these injuries are factored in.

Other areas to look at when determining the value of the case include whether there was time missed from work. Are there lost wages? Is it going to impact your ability to obtain work in the future? Are you going to have a future lost wage claim? Then, we get into other factors such as comparative fault. Who is completely at fault? Is there any percentage of liability that’s going to be attributed to the client? If so, this obviously would then reduce the value of the claim.

Because all of these factors are unique to every single case, it’s important to hire a knowledgeable and experienced trial lawyer. We are here to help, should you have any questions regarding your bicycle accident claim.
